Subject: [nysbirds-l] Feb. records of Blue-winged Teal
Is anyone aware of any February records of BLUE-WINGED TEAL? The closest I've
found so far is a Mar 1, 1971 record from Oneida Lake, but it would seem likely
there may be a Feb. record from JBWR, MNWR, etc. Bull (1997) shows Mar 6th as
the first arrival date. Curious if the Fair Haven bird below is possibly a
first Feb. record.

Subject: Blue-winged Teal - Fair Haven
An early-arriving BLUE-WINGED TEAL was the unexpected highlight from Fair
Haven. It came in with Mallards and Canada Geese as part of a modest roost
flight.
Over at Sodus Bay things are much as they have been. New addition was a
Red-throated Loon in the bay. Good numbers of ducks and gulls on the Lake at
all stops.
